When constructing or remodeling an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) in Los Angeles, GFCI outlets are a code-required essential for safety and compliance. These outlets are designed to instantly shut off power if an imbalance is detected — protecting occupants from electrical shock in wet or moisture-prone areas.
At LA Pro Electrical, all GFCI installations are included in our turnkey ADU electrical packages, covering every room and outdoor area where GFCI protection is required. Whether you’re building new or just need one outlet upgraded, we offer both full-package solutions and individual GFCI outlet installation services throughout your home or ADU.
